The black Flag.

There being no such all.powerful at
traction to keep play-goers from the
Grand Opera House last night as
there was on the Patti night, the
theater was we'll filled, the gal
lery very much so. "The Black
Flag" is lively enough throughout, not
withstanding some incongruities, to keep
one interested until the final fall of the
drop. As in many English plays virtue
is the under-dog in this drama, but in
the last act everything comes out all
right. Mr.. Edwin Thorne, as Harry
Glyndon, is a manly coast.guard, an ,
remains manly even as a convict.
Owen Glyndon ". L. Ashton). rich and
hard. d.hearted, has difficult role to sup.
port. but he succeeds completely in his
effort. Mr.. Isadore Davidson is an ex-
cellent Sim Lazarus, and portrays the
London sharper of Hebrew extraction
with great deal of humor. The part
of Jem Seaton, taken by gentleman
whose initials coincide with those of
Mr.. Ashton, is also excellent. Miss
Rannie Austin, as Ned, the cabin boy,
did her part with considerable fervor,
also. This afternoon 1.-THE Black Flag"
will be repeated for the matinee, and it
will also be given tonight for the last
time

THE TELEPHONE,
Another Man who Tries TO Sup-
plant Bell

WASHINGTON, January 2l,--The case
of the United States against the Bell
Telephone Company to test the validity
of the Bell telephone patent Is made the
occasion of a publication here this
evening as to some of the points
which will be employed by the govern
ment counsel to combat Professor Bells
claim to being the inventor of the tele-
phone. The Euening Journal in outlin-
ing the evidence publishes an interview
with Antonso Meucci, an aged Italian
who is here and has in his possession
many certified papers from the Patent
Office, which give credence to his claim
to have invented the telephone and filed
a caveat five years before Bells patent
was obtained. His discovery dates back
to l849 when he was director of mechan.
ism in the Lacon Opera House, Cuba
His constant struggles with poverty in
terfered 50 in the perfection of his plans
that it was not till 1871 that his caveat
was granted. Documentary evidence
now on file in the secret archives of the
Patent Office are also published by the
Journal, showing that the claims of
Meuccl to inventing the telegraphing OF
sound was recognized by the Commits
sioner of Patents, together with the
acknowledgment of improvements in
1882 and 1883, and that these claims
embody in great part the patent issued
to Professor Bell.

The petroleum we'll now being sunk
by Messrs. Hardison & Stewart on the
Chandler Oil Companys claims at Pc.

ried on in drilling during day time, and
in the morning fifteen barrels of oil are
baled out. This shows that the we'll is
we'll down into the great oil basin.
Mr.. w. f. Youle, of Puente, was in
the city yesterday, and reports the oil
200 feet deep in well No. 6. He is in
town to get new pair Of 'jars," as the
present pair, after constant use in drill
irg three wells, have crystallized and
parted asunder. He thinks the new
we'll will be great success. With new
liars" he will go down for a greater
yield of oil than is now shown, although
that is a most rich and rewarding de-
velopment that will gladden. the hearts
of the owners aud increase the pletho ra
of their bank account.

The National board OF Trade
on silver Coinage.
WASHINGTON, January 2l.-The Ma.
tional Board of Trade to day discussed a
resolution proposed by the Cincinnati
Chamber of Commerce advocating the
repeal of so much of the Bland law as
provides arbitrarily for the purchase of
bullion and the coinage of standard sill
yer dollars and authorized the President
Of the United States to take such steps
in international intercourse and treaty
stipulatiols as will promptly tend to-
wards the establishment of a uniform
national system of bi.metallism and to
make such appropriations as may be
necessary to make the Presidents au-
thority in this matter affective. Adopted. I.
A resolution was adopted to the effect
that the most imperative duty imposed
upon Congress is the adoption of meas
ures necessary to protect and fortify the
